my friend confessed, but my parents wont let me date, how should i go from here?
so my friend of a few years confessed to me (he's a boy and I'm a girl, just thought to make that clear (I'm also bi but that's not the point)) but all I said was "I'm not rejecting you, but I'm not looking for a relationship right now" (the cutest thing is that he also said "I really hope this doesn't destroy our friendship") we do still have our friendship as if nothing happened but when quarantine ends how should I respond if he asks again?? I don't dislike him and if 100% honest I'm not fully disinterested either but the main problem is my parents were kinda against me dating only about 7 months ago (I'm 15 btw, 15 then too) because I'm "too young"... （￣へ￣） the thing is I want to at least date somebody before I become an old lady (lol exaggeration but seriously, at least college) and like I said I'm not completely disinterested in him... (btw my parents have met the guy who confessed to me) SO: should I try dating secretly until my parents let me date, or should I ask him to wait for me?
I kind of see where your parents are coming from, but I don't think you're too young to date. I think they're just worried about you doing some intimate "stuff" with a boyfriend and regretting it later.
I'm not gonna tell you what to do cause lying to your parents won't give you anything even if they're being kind of unreasonable in the first plac...... reply
You don’t really like that guy and your family disapprove, I don’t see a reason to date him. If you are only looking for experience, you have plenty of time, (you are only 15) dating is not all fun, yes you will have good times but there will be issues eventually and you will have to deal with shit sometimes and you are only 15, you don’t hav...... reply
For me you should wait for your parents approval first? trust me it's much better to have your parents approval than going on a secret relationship. It's hard to date secretly it made me kinda feel guilty. And if it doesn't work don't rush things you're only 15. reply
Well, your feelings are more important. If you like him back and want to pursue a relationship with him then I say go for it. If he's been your friend for a few years then surely your parents know him right? They may be okay with you dating if they approve of the person. I'd just sit down with your parents and ask if they would be okay with you dat...... reply
Well, i wouldn't ask my parent's approval begin with but I think it's a cultural difference. Anyway, in my opinion 15 is not too young to date someone. But if you date secretly and then they find out, you might lose your parent's trust? Whether you date him is up to you. But if you decide to date, I suggest you to don't wait for too long to tell yo...... 2 reply
If he really did love you he would understand and respect your wishes of not being able to date him, then i guess he could wait a few months or years. Overall i think the guy sounds reasonable. Hope it works out for (●'◡'●)ﾉ 1 reply
Well, can they stop you really? If it was me I'd tell them I'm going to date regardless. They might just be against it because they think you're going to have sex though so promising you won't until you're older could win them over. 2 reply
If your parents know the boy have him ask them if he can date you. It shows that he wants their approval and is willing to ask. I probably will not let anyone date my daughter unless they have dinner with me and ask. And my son will not be allowed to date unless he asks her parents. Old fashioned beliefs will respond best with old fashioned approac...... reply
